Review section

This article was nominated and promoted to GA status long ago in 2006. Since then, there has been many scattered and non specific edits as the network expanded over time. As of January 2020, a collective effort was made to clean up the article, especially the history section (which was appropriately summarised) and reformatted the rolling stock section to make the article less complex. However, there are still other outstanding issues, such as uncited fragments, and outdated information, and formatting issues at some sections.--ZKang123 (talk) 07:53, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Compared to the reviewed revision in 2006, it can be said without doubt that the article has expanded and improved a lot. Although there are certain sections (whole of section 4) in the current revision that may not meet the FA criteria (2b and maybe 1a), this does not compromise the core integrity of the article, and hence does not warrant a delist. I suggest creating a new spinoff page called 'Future of the Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)' for the chunky section 4 of the article to keep it inline with section 2b or moving it to History of the Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) under a new section. In addition to that the article could do with a fresh copyedit to weed out the smaller problems with grammar or structure. Pentagon 2057 (T/C) 08:37, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pentagon 2057, are you willing to do that work? Nikkimaria (talk) 14:51, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nikkimaria: It is exam season now where I live and consequently my editing activity has declined sharply. However I have no doubt that there will be another editor willing to take on the work (or myself if still not done after my examinations conclude).

Issues raised in the review section include sourcing and organization. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:26, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delist, I see many problems (as dicussed above), but this convinced me the article isn't progressing:

The opening of the second and third stage were delayed to 2021 as a result mainly due to the stoppage of construction works during the circuit breaker period as well as the quarantine and testing of all foreign workers in dormitories.[170][171][172][173][174]

Delist. Unsourced statements, including potentially contentious claims such as "every MRT line had since been plagued with disruptions of various degrees of severity" and unsupported attributions such as "it is forecast". DrKay (talk) 14:42, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delist regretfully, per above. The article has improved substantially in the last several months but it's not there yet. (t · c) buidhe 15:07, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
